I had a similar problem with a 20 gauge Specialty grade and I sent it to Brad Bachelder (616) 459-3636 who repaired it and I've not had any problems since. This was a gun that had ejectors and a Hunter One Trigger safety. I also understand that W. Va. gunsmith Jerry Andrews (304) 843-1740 is a very competent individual who has a good reputation for his L C Smith repair work. Hope one of the two can help you.
